This one got Uggla fast. On the day we learned the injuries to Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez are — quelle surprise! — worse than expected, the Dodgers scratched and scraped in the first inning, loading the bases and scoring one run on a Skip Schumaker dribbler. He now has a 15-game hitting streak.

Then the Braves opened up a can of whooooop-ass and dropped eight on the Blue, aided by four RBIs on two Uggla home runs, which were preceded by a clunker of an error by Adrian Gonzalez. Matt Magill lasted 3 2/3 innings.
